Look at the following figures and suggest in which of the glass containers, i.e., A, B, C or D, the rate of evaporation will be the highest? Explain.
Answer:
- C.The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in surface area because evaporation is a surface phenomenon. Also, with the increase in air speed, the particles of water vapour will move away with air, which will increase the rate of evaporation.
